Research Library

Library MissionThe Research Library of Planes of Fame Air Museum encourages the use of its materials to advance aviation education for Museum staff, volunteers, members, as well as the public. The mission of the Research Library is to collect, preserve, and make available its resources for the research of aeronautical knowledge.

About the LibraryFor decades, Museum members and supporters have been donating their aviation books to Planes of Fame Air Museum to provide an aviation research library to the public. Diligent volunteers manage a library that contains over 10,000 volumes aircraft-related books with more resources being added in the future.

Library HoursTuesdays and Saturdays 10:00 am until 4:00 pm

Who Can Use The Library?The Library is open to Museum volunteers, members, staff, and the general public. Use of the Library is included in the price of Museum admission. Use is free for Museum members. Fees are charged for photocopies and media reproductions.
